Up for auction at NO RESERVE is a 1919 Ford Model T 3 door Touring car. The car is a '19 touring body with a '23 chassis. It's a fun little car that runs strong. Plenty of power with no smoke. Engine and rear end were already gone through when I got the car. Radiator is in great shape. New 12v battery. Electric start. New Champion X spark plugs. Rebuilt carb. New Anderson timer. New manifold gaskets. Brake, reverse, and high/low band are in great shape. Has a brand new fuel tank. Rust Free. Chassis is in good condition, wheels are beautiful and all spokes are tight. I'm pretty sure it is an original Ford body and is restorable, or can be used as is. It has no major dents, however it has a few welds on it. The wood is in good shape. I have been playing with and driving the car as it is, but to make it complete, it needs a windshield, interior, top, splash aprons, hood shelves, hood latches(included), one door latch striker, e-brake rods(included), horn, steering column support strap, and a little bit of wiring(key switch, headlamp pigtail, etc.) There may be a few minor items I am leaving out. I have never tried to run the car on mag but I bet its in good working order considering the work that was put into the engine. But that is just speculation. the car really does run great and stops people in their track wherever you go. You could choose to fully complete an easy restoration on this little car, or drive it just the way it is now. What you see in the pictures is what you get. The car will be sold on a bill of sale, however if the buyer wants me to go through the process to get a title, it takes approximately 8 weeks through the new process in the state of Arkansas to get one. That will be strictly up to the buyer. No paypal on this item please. Cashier's check, USPS money order, or cash only upon pickup. Complete payment must be made within 5 days of auction end. Unfortunately, I have nowhere to store the item so I cannot hold onto it. I have one of my antique tractors kicked out of the shop right now, so I need to get it back in there ASAP. Buyer needs to contact me within 24 hours of the auction end to arrange payment and pickup. There may be a possibility that I could deliver for a fee, depending on my schedule in the next 2 weeks. Please do not bid if you cannot or do not plan to pay for the item under these terms. I hope to have some links to some videos up in the next day or two. Please, if you have any questions, contact me by phone or text at 870-882-9670. I would love to talk with you about it. Thanks for looking!

Even Ford executives had issues with MyFord Touch

Fri, Oct 7 2016

MyFord Touch is one of the auto industry's more controversial features. The media broadly panned the infotainment system developed with Microsoft for its slow responses and reliance on voice commands to navigate its deep menus. Oh, and Ford executives weren't big fans, either. Newly revealed court documents in a California class-action lawsuit demonstrate the level of venom Ford employees, both big and small, reserved for the Blue Oval's infotainment system. An error caused Bill Ford's navigation system to crash, leaving the family scion stuck on the side of the road in an unfamiliar area. The documents, unearthed by Forbes, detail current CEO Mark Fields' aggravations with MFT, too. A mechanic emailed an image of a cracked infotainment screen on an Edge to one of Ford's top Sync engineers, Kenneth Williams, suggesting "Mark Fields may have been a little aggravated with the system." But Ford and Fields' issues are nothing compared to the woes of the engineers that had to work on MFT. In a collection of emails obtained by Forbes, one engineer called the system "a polished turd," while another simply said, "These poor customers." And after one engineer suggested using a photo of Ford's Oakville Assembly Plant – home of the Edge, Flex, Lincoln MKX, and MKT production Â– as a background for the system, one of his coworkers said in an email that someone should instead Photoshop the image to read "abandon hope all ye who enter here," the Detroit News reports. Another summed up the problem, saying: "Ford's quality reputation is completely on the line ... another model year with the same crap is not acceptable." MyFord Touch almost single-handedly torpedoed Ford's reputation in widely reported quality metrics, including JD Power and Consumer Reports. Ford responded with a refreshed Sync3, a wildly improved rethink of its infotainment system that is far more responsive and easier to live with every day.

Ford Mustang returning to Australia in 2016

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself.
While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000."
And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.

Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
